French Lop Rabbits for Sale in Utah
French Lops, 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, raised indoors in Bakersfield, California and delivered to Utah by USDA certified ground pet transport. $350 for bucks and does alike.
There is no good reason a family in Utah should settle for whatever happens to be nearby. We are Arlen Rabbitry, raising French Lop Rabbits indoors in Bakersfield, California, and sending them across the country by USDA certified ground pet transport. Climate controlled, by road, never flown. Or come and fetch yours yourself, which a fair few people do. $350 for bucks and does alike.
What happens between here and Utah
It starts with a message: which bunny, and where in Utah. We price that run for your address and come back with a date, and the date is chosen by the weather on the route rather than by what is convenient.
Then a USDA certified pet transport service takes over the ground leg. They do this for a living, in a climate-controlled vehicle, with regular stops for water and a look at the animal. There is no flight involved at any point and your bunny never travels as cargo.
They hand your bunny to you at your door, in person, and you will have heard from us while it was on the road rather than only at the end.
How long will I be waiting?
From two days. The Utah run is 600 to 800 miles and takes 1 to 2 days, counting the water stops and the overnight breaks that any decent transporter builds in. Straightforward most of the year. Winter over the passes into Salt Lake is the only thing that moves a date.
And if the drive appeals more than the wait, Bakersfield is about 10 to 14 hours from Utah, which most people split as two days each way with an overnight stop. Come and collect, meet the litter, take your time choosing. It costs nothing but the fuel.
Getting a French Lop to Utah
Utah is 600 to 800 miles from us, 1 to 2 days on the road. The run is handled by a USDA certified pet transport service, in a climate-controlled vehicle with regular stops for water and a check. Your bunny goes by road the whole way: never flown, and never shipped as cargo.
What this breed's size means for the journey. This is the one where distance genuinely matters. A 10lb rabbit needs a large carrier, more water stops and more airflow, so a long run takes more planning and we will talk you through it honestly before agreeing a date.
Utah weather, and this breed
Straightforward most of the year. Winter over the passes into Salt Lake is the only thing that moves a date.
A large body sheds heat slowly, which makes the French Lop the most heat-sensitive of the four on a long journey. Summer deliveries to the southern half of the country are overnight only, and we will move a date rather than push one.
French Lops ready for Utah now
Raised indoors and handled daily. If one of these has gone by the time you write, ask and we will tell you honestly what is coming rather than take a deposit against a maybe.
Keeping a French Lop in the desert Southwest
A 10lb rabbit in the desert Southwest needs serious cooling and we will not pretend otherwise. A large body sheds heat slowly, and while dry air helps, a French Lop in an Arizona or southern Nevada summer is an air-conditioned animal from May to September. Given that, it does very well here: winters are a non-event.
Size. 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit. Care. Size drives everything. A French Lop needs a much larger enclosure than people expect, and sore hocks from hard flooring are the common problem, so soft bedding is a requirement rather than a nicety. Nails monthly and a proper look over the back end weekly, because a rabbit this size cannot always reach.
What it gets mistaken for. Confused with the Flemish Giant, which is larger again, and with an overweight Mini Lop. A French Lop is large by breed rather than by feeding. Everything about the French Lop.
The other three breeds, also delivered to Utah
Same journey, same price, different rabbit. Worth comparing before the distance matters.
- Holland Lops for sale in Utah, about 2 to 4 lb full grown
- Mini Lops for sale in Utah, 4.5 to 6.5 lb full grown
- Netherland Dwarfs for sale in Utah, 1.5 to 2.5 lb full grown
Housing a French Lop indoors
Every rabbit we raise lives indoors and we would ask that yours does too. A hutch at the bottom of a Utah garden is a shorter, lonelier life, and this is a companion animal that does badly kept at a distance.
Floor space beats cage height every time. 10 lb and up full grown, a genuinely large rabbit, so size the pen off that rather than off what a pet shop sells.
